About 172 Shields Rd
Set along a quiet, picturesque dirt road, this private escape delivers the kind of peace you didn't know you needed—until now. A wide, grassy yard flows to a meandering stream, while a heated saltwater pool turns every day into a vacation. Whether you're seeking a full-time sanctuary or a weekend retreat, this home strikes the perfect balance between comfort, privacy, and style. Inside, the layout is smart and inviting. The first-floor primary suite features a marble-clad bath with a Jacuzzi tub, while the high-end kitchen, complete with custom cabinetry and a professional-grade chef's stove, anchors the main living space. A vaulted great room brings in loads of natural light through oversized windows, and the dedicated office—fitted with built-ins—adds function without sacrificing flow. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement offers a cozy den, guest space, or media room setup. Recent cosmetic updates throughout, efficient heating via an IBC Combi Unit, and a large, finishable loft over the garage add both polish and potential. Private, peaceful, and packed with perks—this is the lifestyle reset you've been waiting for.
